See the Hardy downtown connector, and other project plans

In this morning’s paper we ran a story about Harris County’s progress toward (perhaps) building a downtown connection for the Hardy Toll Road.

As we reported, construction on the 3.6-mile, $419 million link could start as early as 2013 and could be complete as early as 2015, though Commissioners Court hasn’t necessarily endorsed that timetable.

Our graphics folks put together an instructive map for the print edition. Here’s a more detailed digital version, courtesy of the Harris County Toll Road Authority:

Bring it. Its taken far too long to get this last bit of toll road built. I long for skipping the loop 610 & I45 S interchange traveling to IAH. I’ll gladly navigate the mean streets of downtown Houston to circumvent the aforementioned roadways. Not if sure if some of folks are aware but TX DOT is getting ready to widen the loop 610 roadway that passes under I45. Soon upto 4 lanes of traffic will eventually travel both ways underneath I45. So, how’s the Hardy Toll Road extension looking to you now? Yeah, I thought so.
come on guys, get jiggly with it & build the final 2 miles of toll road “NOW”!
